Howard Pyle 


A TRIBUTE TO HOWARD PYLE 


Howard Pyle was distinguished by marked individual peculi- 
arities from all the other artists of his time. Indeed, for any so 
peculiar type of genius we must revert to William Blake. Pyle 
was most like Blake in this—that in the representation of life and 
things he caught native aspects and meanings. He had no interest 
in the institutional fabric of our civilization, or of any other. Of 
Quaker parentage and an enthusiastic disciple of Swedenborg, it 
was natural that he should listen to the inner voice and reject the 
traditions of men and the authority of the schools—also that he 
should seek the inward and spiritual meanings of all things. Yet, 
_ without being at all picaresque, he often chose to portray the ele- 
mental passions of our human nature. 

Pyle * * * was first of all and always an illustrator. Because 
he was transcendently that, he was something more than that, 
especially in his sense and handling of color and in the spirit which 
animated and informed his creations. He never failed to give his 
meaning in the picture itself, whether illustration or mural painting; 
but he delighted in correlating his meanings by means of the written 
story, which was always virile, significant, and charmingly antique 
and idiomatic. 

His work as author and artist was, for us all, and a good part 
of it especially for the youth, a fresh revival of the Romantic. But, 
though it occupied the field of wonder, it had no Rosetti-like trans- 
figuration and exaltation, no vagueness. Without any loss of the 
wonder, his meanings were plain. We shall not see his like again. 


H. M. Alden 


From Harper’s Magazine, 1912 


BIOGRAPHICAL 


Howard Pyle was born in Wilmington, March 5th, 1853. He 
died in Florence, November 9th, 1911. 


His art education was acquired in Philadelphia and New York, 
and at an early age he became a regular contributor to Harper’s 
Weekly. Although his illustrations have appeared in every im- 
portant American Magazine, he remained throughout his career, 
chiefly identified with the Harper periodicals. 


In addition to his illustrative work a number of mural decor- 
ations stand to his credit, some allegorical, others historical in 
nature. Most of these are privately owned. There are however, 
notable examples of his historical decorations in the Hudson County 
Court House, N. Y., the Essex County Court House, N. J., and at 
the State Capitol, St. Paul, Minn. 


Howard Pyle’s reputation as a writer is quite as assured as his 
reputation as a painter. He was the author and illustrator of 
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, 1883; Pepper and Salt, 
1885; Within the Capes, 1885; The Wonder Clock, 1888; The Rose 
of Paradise, 1888; Otto of the Silver Hand, 1888; Men of Iron, 1892; 
A Modern Aladdin, 1892; Jack Ballister’s Fortunes,1895 ; The Garden 
Behind the Moon, 1895; Twilight Land, 1895; Rejected of Men, 
1903; The Story of King Arthur and His Knights, 1903; The Story 
of the Champions of the Round Table, 1905; The Story of Sir 
Launcelot and His Companions, 1907; The Story of the Grail and 
The Passing of Arthur, 1910, and of many shorter magazine articles 
and stories. 


Howard Pyle possessed an exhaustive knowledge of the life 
of the age he pictured, a knowledge the result of personal research 
and years of study. Quite apart from the many other artists who 
have attempted to reconstruct in picture the life of a time in which 
they did not live, he stands a unique and distinguished figure, the 
only realist. 


In 1894 he became Director of Illustration at the Drexel 
Institute, Philadelphia, and shortly afterwards opened summer 
classes for his pupils at Chadd’s Ford, Pa. In 1900 he built a 
school beside his own studio in Wilmington and started the Howard 
Pyle School of Art, with classes limited to twelve pupils, although 
a greater number were admitted to the composition lectures. To 

these classes there was no tuition charge. 


He was a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, 
the American Federation of Arts, the Society of Illustrators, the 
Century Association, The Salmagundi and Franklin Inn Clubs, 
A. N. A., 1905 and N. A., 1907.

GIFTS AND PURCHASES 


After the death of Howard Pyle, a memorial exhibition of his 
work was held at Wilmington, in March, 1912. At the same time 
a spontaneous movement was started to acquire a public collection 
of his pictures. About eighty paintings and pen drawings were 
purchased by general subscription, and The Wilmington Society 
of the Fine Arts was founded and empowered to act as custodian. 

In 1915, 69 black and white illustrations were purchased from 
Charles Scribners’ Sons, and added to this nucleus. 

In 1919, 50 pen drawings were secured through the kind offices 
of Mr. Willard S. Morse. : 

In 1920, 11 vignettes and pen drawings were purchased from 
Mrs. Howard Pyle. 

In 1920, Mrs. Howard Pyle donated the original pen drawing 
frontispiece, “‘King Arthur of Britain’’ from ‘“The Story of King 
Arthur and His Knights’’—Scribners’, 1903. 

In 1923, upon the completion of the Wilmington Society of 
the Fine Arts’ Gallery in the Wilmington Institute Free Library 
Building, Mrs. Charles Copeland, President of the Society, presented 
and installed the mural decorations ‘The Genus of Art’, by 
Howard Pyle, which were removed from the original setting in his 
house, and placed in a similar room reproduced for their reception. 

Mrs. Howard Pyle donated at this time, the easel, palette, 
stool and costume chest, which were utilized in furnishing the room. 

In 1923, Mr. Willard S. Morse gave to the society his collection 
of approximately two hundred drawings and paintings, including 
many early examples of the work of Howard Pyle, and also donated 
a complete set of autographed first editions of Howard Pyle’s 
writings, and a complete set of reproductions of all his book and 
magazine illustrations. 

In 1925 Mr. Morse donated a series of sketch books covering 
a period of thirty-five years and containing the initial embodiment 
of most of Howard Pyle’s pictorial work. Many of the sketches 
have been identified and mounted beside reproductions of the 
finished pictures. Cases have been built for the display of these 
sketches. 


ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS 


By the will of Dr. Joseph Pyle the Wilmington Society of the 
Fine Arts acquired in 1919 two etchings and a pen drawing by the 
late Robert Shaw of Wilmington, and a portrait of George Washing- 
ton attributed to Rembrandt Peale. 


The following paintings have been acquired by purchase from 
the Society’s annual exhibitions: 


1920 Little Girl of the Southwest by Robert Henri 
1920 The Old Saw Mill dy Cees F. Ryder. 

1920 A Sailor’s Fantasy by N. C. Wyeth. 

1921 Girl Combing Her Hair by William M. Paxton. 
1921 Flowers and Old China by Herbert D. Stitt.

Mr. Willard S. Morse 


Mr. Willard S. Morse, assisted by Miss Gertrude Brinckle, has 
compiled a chronological list of the work of Howard Pyle, and this 
list was published by the Society in 1920 under the title, ““Howard 
Pyle, a Record of His Illustrations and Writings.” 


This chronological list was used as a basis for the present 
catalogue. 


The items were numbered consecutively 1 to 3330 and each 
exhibit of the Society’s collection bears its corresponding number, 
which indicates its relative position in the sequence of Howard 
Pyle’s work.
